The Honor of the Red Chamber

However, Jia Rong quickly obtained the list of generals who will accompany him in this battle. Jia Rong and Shui Mu discussed it. Although some people suspected of restraining him, it was not too much. Thinking about it, the emperor was also full of anger and really wanted to win a battle.

A mid-level officer on the list caught Jia Rong's attention, it was Sun Shaozu, he hesitated a little, Shui Mu felt strange seeing him unexpectedly, Jia Rong said that he had heard that this man was of average character, and Shui Mu turned over at that time He rolled his eyes, "You are here to fight, not to examine his character. You don't care what his character is, as long as he knows how to fight and obey orders, I have an impression of this man. The soldier also has a brave and sturdy spirit, which is worthy of his current position."

Hearing what Shui Mu said, Jia Rong was suddenly enlightened, knowing that he was in the middle of the game, and he turned the corner, and now that Jia's mother asked Lin Ruhai to check the marriage for the Yingchun sisters, he didn't have to worry about it.

Jia Rong stayed happily in Shuimu's mansion, but she didn't know that Jia's mansion was full of gloomy clouds.

Since Jia Rong went to see Jia Mu that day, Jia Mu used all the hidden stakes in the mansion to thoroughly investigate, so the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Baochai was known to Jia Mu verbatim. My mother has been used to strong winds and waves all her life, and she never expected that Baochai, a young lady in her boudoir, could be so vicious. On weekdays, sisters and sisters call each other affectionately, but when they start to fight, they drive people to their death. , Since then, there has been fear in my heart, and I look down on it even more.

Mother Jia thought about it, and for the present plan, she should choose a future daughter-in-law for Baoyu while she was still in control of the mansion, so that Mrs. Wang would not want to find a daughter-in-law who could control her and take Xue Baochai, who was born in a merchant, as a treasure. On the contrary, Baoyu's future has been put into it. With Baoyu's current status, even if he can't become a noble, he will never be reduced to marrying the daughter of an imperial merchant whose family is about to decline.

Mother Jia naturally liked Xiangyun at first, but after this incident, she also understood that even if she married Xiangyun according to her wishes, they would still get along with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. Madam Wang was not satisfied, what about Xiangyun? Have a good day?Firstly, she has been hurting Xiangyun for many years, and she is also reluctant to bear Xiangyun's hardship in the future; secondly, she does not want to see Baoyu's inner house because of the disharmony between mother and daughter-in-law.

In this way, Mother Jia set her sights beyond the four major families, but each of the Eight Dukes' families had granddaughters of similar ages, who matched Baoyu just right.

Unexpectedly, despite what Jia Mu said, Baoyu just refused to get married, and she was not as close as before when she mentioned sisters and sisters, but there was a part of disgust in it, and was beaten down by the furious Jia Zheng with the family law, still gritted her teeth Unwilling to change his words, everyone in the entire family was at a loss.

Mother Jia is old and smart, so she understands that Baoyu was frightened by the events of that day. You know, how can you stay calm as usual?If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that I will never like my daughter's family again for the rest of my life, and I will hate Xiren, Baochai and even Mrs. Wang in my heart.

Seeing that things were not harmonious, Jia's mother suddenly remembered that Baoyu seemed to have a good relationship with Jia Rong. At this time, she was also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so she hurriedly sent someone to Ningguo Mansion to invite someone. Jia Rong was not at home. The Rongguo Mansion had a grudge, heard what happened over there, and felt gloating about it, but Mother Jia was an elder after all, so she couldn't take the initiative to tear her face apart. In the eyes of others, she would only say their faults.

Jia Zhen hurriedly sent someone to look for Jia Rong, Jia Rong went back to Ningguo Mansion in a daze, but saw everything was calm and quiet, and saw Jia Zhen, You Shi, and Jia Qiang, all waiting He couldn't help being surprised.

"Is something wrong?"

As soon as Jia Zhen heard that there was a clear meaning of brevity in these words, she felt unhappy immediately, and her face was brought out. Seeing this, You Shi hurriedly laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, I shouldn't have disturbed your work, it's just that Mr. The wife was in a hurry, she only said that she wanted to invite you to talk about something, but she refused to explain it clearly, so she called you back."

Jia Rong immediately thought of Baoyu and frowned slightly. Could it be that the matter has not been resolved yet?

"Then I'll go over and have a look. I don't think it's a big deal, otherwise there won't be any rumors."

After Jia Rong finished speaking, seeing that Jia Zhen and Youshi had nothing else to say, she turned her head to look at Jia Qiang who had been silent all this time, but she looked much thinner, her eyes flickered, and she smiled slightly, "I haven't seen Brother Qiang for a long time. Son, I heard that you have been very busy recently, if you need any help, feel free to ask, we are all brothers of our own family, we must not be separated from each other."

Jia Qiang smiled wryly in her heart, but smiled naturally on her face, "Brother Rong, you are being polite. I am just busy with nothing, and there is no difficulty. It is just that I made a deal with someone a while ago, but I have no confidants to use. I thought about it." Seeing that I have nothing else to do in Beijing, I decided to make a trip myself, and came here today to bid farewell to my uncle and aunt."

Jia Rong was taken aback, leaving Beijing at this time?

In the blink of an eye, a thought flashed through his mind, he squinted his eyes, and smiled slightly, "That's fine, Brother Qiang has also heard about it, I'm going to go to the southwest in a few days, this battlefield is ruthless... ...I don't know when I will be back, so instead of being able to help you right now, I would like to ask you for a favor."

When Jia Qiang heard this, she couldn't believe her ears. Ever since Jia Rong and Shui Mu became friends, Shui Mu was a jealous vat, and she was very strict, especially Jia Qiang, who had actually had a relationship with Jia Rong. He is the number one rival in love in Shui Mu's eyes, and Jia Rong indulged Shui Mu's deeds again. As a result, Jia Rong became more and more distant from Jia Qiang. Seeing him still acted like a brother and friend, as if all the friendship between the two of them was illusory. Jia Qiang didn't know whether Jia Rong was on purpose or not. Seeing is not seeing, but in the end, he avoided Jia Rong even more.

Now he can be said to have left Beijing sadly, and even plans to live in Jinling forever, thinking that the two of them might never see each other again, he was depressed, he was just here to try his luck today, who would have expected to see Jia Rong , and heard Jia Rong take the initiative to ask for it, no wonder he thought he had heard it wrong.

Seeing that Jia Rong was waiting for his reply solemnly, his heart froze, he quickly withdrew his thoughts, smiled and cupped his hands, his eyes were shy, "What did you say, Brother Rong, you just said that you are my brother, next time I've been unfamiliar for a moment, if I can help you, Brother Rong just ask, but even I... I will definitely not accept your entrustment."

Jia Rong smiled slightly when she heard the words, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, thought for a long while without opening her mouth, Jia Zhen and Youshi looked at each other, not sure what Jia Rong was playing.

Jia Rong straightened out her thoughts, Fang slowly put down the teacup, and looked at Jia Zhen, "This matter must be approved by my parents. I am going out this time. The outcome is really unpredictable, the future is unpredictable, and the only concern in my heart is The three of my parents and aunt, I think our ancestral hall is still in Jinling, I want to ask Brother Qiang to escort my parents and aunt to Jinling, and put a stick of incense on my behalf for the ancestors of the past generations, bless me with a great victory in this battle, and wait for me to come back in triumph Today, I will go to Jinling to fulfill my wish, and then I will meet you and return to Beijing, what does father think?"

Back then, Jia Zhen was able to join the ranks of King Zhongshun, and kept Qin Keqing in the mansion in spite of the world. The gambler must have the courage and political ambition. Although he can't see through the complicated situation, However, he would be an idiot if he didn't understand the meaning of Jia Rong's bare, naked, naked on the table!

At that moment, Jia Zhen's complexion changed drastically. She hadn't looked so ugly since his illness. She stared blankly at Jia Rong, "What do you mean? Could it be that our house is in danger?"

Jia Rong raised her brows, and there was a strong warning color in her eyes that cannot be ignored, "Father, what danger can we have? It's just that I don't trust you to stay in Beijing. Why don't you just walk around to relax. I heard that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the people. Father may as well Along the way, pay attention to see if there are any well-known doctors, maybe he can take care of my father's stubborn illness!"

Jia Zhen's old face was red and white, she was both angry at being offended by her father's dignity, and also guilty of being punctured. For a while, she didn't know how to react, but Youshi's heart moved when she heard it. Jia Rong only said the four of them. People, obviously forget about Jia Zhen's concubines, if Jia Zhen can cure her hidden illness on the way, and she is the only one accompanying Jia Zhen along the way, maybe there will be surprises!

In Jia Qiang's heart, it was as if the seasoning shop had been overturned. There was no shortage of sweet, bitter and spicy. He was also an exquisite person, so he naturally understood the meaning of Jia Rong's words. No matter what, Jia Rong also classified him as one of his own. , if something happens, don't forget to protect him, that's enough...

Jia Qiang coughed lightly, "This matter is not difficult. My business was originally to go to Yangzhou to pick goods, which is not far from Jinling. I can escort my uncle, aunt and aunt to Jinling first, but... Don't we need to talk to the Rongguo Mansion? After all, the patriarch is now Lord Zheng!"

Jia Rong knocked on the table and said with a smile, "I'll do all the acting, I'll talk about it over there, since my parents don't object, then I'll tell my aunt, the sooner you leave Beijing, the better, I'm afraid that Aunt Lin will You can't attend the wedding next door!"

Jia Zhen was a little confused, "Why is it so urgent?"

Jia Rong shook her head, "Be careful sailing for thousands of years, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Beijing in time, then..."

Jia Rong deliberately left an ending, but the unfinished meaning caused the three of them to toss and turn, and they didn't sleep peacefully all night.

Jia Rong went to the backyard and said what she meant through the screen. After all, Xichun was young, and she only had some ideas, and she couldn't deeply feel the tension and contradictions in it. I even looked forward to the trip, but I felt a little regretful that I couldn't attend Daiyu's wedding, and I was busy preparing a gift, thinking of sending it there in advance.

The arrangements at home here were properly arranged, and Jia Rong hurriedly went out to Rongguo Mansion, but she was stopped by the back door.

Jia Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Xianglian, whose clothes were wrinkled and anxious, with a smile that was not a smile, and saw two blue shadows under her eyes, which were particularly conspicuous on her fair face, "What's going on, Merry Could it be that the suave Mrs. Liu has gone too far to become this decadent?"

Liu Xianglian rolled her eyes, "Come on, don't make fun of me, I don't know if you look at me, someone is living happily these days like a fairy, be careful if you use that thing too much, you won't be able to stand up again in the rest of your life!! You are lucky, brother, I haven't closed my eyes for several days and nights, I don't know how many treasures and antiques have been destroyed in the imperial study room, it is you... that's all, I said brother, for the sake of being officials of the same dynasty and sympathizing with each other, can you please Raise your precious hand and take me in?"
